After graduating from Daphne High School, Roberts moved away to
attend Auburn University. In 2008 during her time at Auburn, Roberts interned
for the Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce.

During her internship, she did a great deal of photography,
featuring local attractions such as Blakeley State Park, Weeks Bay and the
Eastern Shore.

"I worked a little bit on tourism development," Roberts said of her
internship with the Chamber. "I basically took a lot of pictures and got that
all in a digital form."

A year later, Roberts graduated from Auburn earning her degree in
journalism in 2009. She then applied to Savannah College of Art & Design.

"I took documentary classes in Auburn," Roberts said. "When I
graduated, I didn't know what I was going to do. I went out on a limb and
applied to SCAD."

This led to an opportunity Roberts said she was very thankful for.

"It was one of the best educational experiences I ever had," Roberts said. "It is a great, great school."

She graduated in 2011, and found herself looking for a job.

"When I couldn't find a job in Atlanta, I moved back home," Roberts said. "I loved living in Alabama. Moving back -- I don't know how I lived
somewhere else for 7 years. I am really glad I'm back."

Roberts began working with a magazine in Gulf Shores, SportsEvents.
However, she later learned of an opportunity available at the Eastern Shore
Chamber of Commerce as the director of Tourism and Special Events.

"After interning here, I
knew that working with the Chamber would be something I would enjoy doing,"
Roberts said.

Roberts got the job, and began working with the Chamber in July of
this year.

"I am in charge of the Jubilee Festival, Arts & Crafts and the
mayor's prayer breakfast," Roberts said about her new job. "I organize and help
facilitate the committees and festivals themselves."

She also assists with the Chamber's social media presence.

"I help with the website's development and social media. We now
have an Instagram account and a Pinterest account," Roberts said. "We're just
trying to figure out different avenues of getting tourism along the Eastern Shore
and any way to publicize events."

Roberts enjoys her work, and sees herself remaining there.

"I would like to stay at the Chamber and help grow the festivals
and tourism," Roberts said. "As far as helping them taking any necessary steps
as they want to as far as digital goes, I would definitely like to see that
grow."

Outside of work, Roberts said she enjoys life by the water.

"I enjoy being on the water, boating, fishing -- anything that revolves
around going to the beach," Roberts said. "Living farther north for seven years,
you definitely miss going to the beach."
